It's no more compilcated that php, and what's presented to the user's browser is the *result* of the .lc file, not the file itself, so I think it does what you're asking.
To get it to parse the LC script in a .html file one would have to add the extension (addhandler/action stuff like you do with .lc and earlier .irev)
I -think- that if SSI (server side includes) are on, this can be done..
<!--#include FILE="myfile.lc" --> so that the server will parse the myfile.lc and put the results into the html page, but again, that would require SSI to be enabled, and all your code would be broken out into separate .lc files.
Of course, javascript could be used to include an external page inline also.
So, in order to answer this question..
on the server instead of displaying what I would expect to be a heading with the text "hello world". If I place the three lines of LiveCode in a file named hello.lc and run off the server I get the appropriate text. What does one have to do in order to get the server to evaluate the block of LiveCode in the .html file?
If you have direct access to control the server, I am pretty sure you can edit the conf files to add .html as a 'handled' extension that points to livecode server, the same way .lc was set up. If you DON'T have direct access to the server, its very likely that you can use a .htaccess file to accomplish the task as explained here.
http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4070/l/36655 Just change .lc to .html (or keep both)
Of course the downside of this is that EVERY .html page will be parsed whether it needs it or not.
There may be other reasons to not use .html as a parsed extension, but hopefully this will work for you.
